CUBEX is the new distributor for western Canada for Roadtec asphalt paving equipment. Roadtec is one of North America’s leading manufacturers of road paving equipment, including asphalt pavers, material transfer vehicles, stabilizers and reclaimers, milling machines and cold planers, cold in-place recycling, guardian telematics, asphalt screeds and brooms.
Roadtec offers an extensive line of pavers that, according to Roadtec, are the most reliable and maintenance-free pavers in the industry. They are simply designed and well balanced for maximum tractive effort and can be equipped with a variety of screeds, all with electric heat as standard equipment. Roadtec’s pavers are designed to allow for extreme ease of access to all major components. Roadtec claims to be the first manufacturer in the industry to install an FXS fume extraction system as standard equipment on all of Roadtec’s pavers and Shuttle Buggy material transfer vehicles. Its new Comfort Drive operator system embodies the latest in ergonomic design, provides greater visibility, fingertip controls and is also standard equipment.
Pavers are available in rubber-tired, track or rubber-track models and come in either 8- or 10-foot paving widths. Roadtec also manufactures the patented Stealth gravity-fed paver, which eliminates the need for hopper wings, conveyors and tandem front bogies.
It also produces a full line of cold planers in sizes from utility to full-lane. These cold planers provide the optimum balance between horsepower, production and maneuverability.
The RX-600, RX-700 and RX-900 all come standard with bi-directional abilities that allow them to achieve down cutting with rear discharge of material without any customization or additional options. Hydraulically-raisable engine hoods allow easy access to the engine compartment which is heavily insulated for superior noise reduction. Variable width cutters and attachments for side cutting, available on some models, make Roadtec cold planers among the most versatile milling machines available.
The ‘Shuttle Buggy’
Roadtec offers the latest in pavement placement technology with its Shuttle Buggy material transfer vehicles. These machines are self-propelled transfer devices with unique anti-segregation systems that remix asphalt material to produce a consistent size and temperature. The industry-wide problem of asphalt segregation is eliminated. Continuous, nonstop paving is allowed by separating truck unloading from the paving process. Roadtec states that with the new harder-to-lay superpave mixes and overall tougher specifications for roads, the qualities of its material transfer vehicles make them a valuable item in the new fleets of today’s contractors.
